Any objections against marking this for -stable and filing it in 
efi/urgent? Boot hangs are show-stopper bugs, so distributions would want 
to backport this fix anyway.

I have changed this to the canonical style, which is also used elsewhere 
in the file:

>  	map.buff_size		= &buff_size;
>  	priv.boot_params	= boot_params;
>  	priv.efi		= &boot_params->efi_info;
> -	priv.e820ext		= NULL;
> -	priv.e820ext_size	= 0;

I.e.:

+	boot_map.map		= &map;
+	boot_map.map_size	= &map_size;
+	boot_map.desc_size	= &desc_size;
+	boot_map.desc_ver	= NULL;
+	boot_map.key_ptr	= NULL;
+	boot_map.buff_size	= &buff_size;
+
+	status = efi_get_memory_map(sys_table, &boot_map);

Thanks,

	Ingo
